  • Grayson is nine years old and was born with a rare chromosome disorder known as Angelman syndrome. Grayson has seizures, he is nonverbal, and he does not have the ability to walk on his own. But thanks to support from the Easter Seals community, Grayson has been given the chance to experience a life full of possibilities.
    Grayson's mom, Linda, shares their journey from the moment they heard all the things Grayson “would never do” to the pride she feels today as he begins Grade Four.
    With access to specialized equipment, Grayson can communicate, move around his school, and actively participate in his classroom. From sharing presentations to reading the attendance list, Grayson’s experience shows how the right support can make a world of difference.
    Thank you for believing in Grayson’s potential and standing with Easter Seals families!

    Beautifully said about your son with Angleman syndrome at his young age of 9.
    I have a friend from my church who had twin boys. One of the twins had Angelman syndrome & used a stroller/push chair for riding in from car to church to there house as well or on walks! He is an amazing young man now & loves to hear music at church & gets so excited & others enjoy the many sounds of happiness that comes during the church service when he’s there.
    God bless you always!

    As a member of our regional Rotary Easter Seals Committee, I had the tremendous pleasure of meeting Linda and Grayson a few years ago and have since attended many events with them (including Rotary, which I was ecstatic to have her join). I can attest to the fact that Linda is an amazing Easter Seals mom, and Grayson is a terrific kid, always smiling and welcoming and full of life and joy. Parents like Linda and ES Kids like Grayson are the reason that Easter Seals has been my cause of choice for 26 years. I encourage everyone to meet some of the ES Kids in your region and discover why this is such a great cause to support!
